Chapter 452: Woe to Xiao Wall?
The Emperor of Heaven of the Han Dynasty is destined to be a major event that shocks the world, and of course it will become an important event for the Han Dynasty, and the whole country is busy with this matter, but the starting point of each class is different, and the things they want to do are also different.
Once the Huining Mansion is taken, the Emperor of the Han Dynasty will abdicate and become the emperor, and the crown prince will succeed him. It also indicates that there will be no more struggle for succession, and the struggle for imperial power will completely subside.
After the new emperor succeeded to the throne, then the other princes must leave Beijing according to the law of the Han Dynasty and go to their own fiefdoms to be vassal kings, which is somewhat similar to the vassal king system of the Ming Dynasty, but there are still big differences.
The Ming Dynasty's vassal system was similar to raising pigs, and the vassal kings were used as pigs to promote them, which eventually dragged down the Ming economy and ruined the Ming Dynasty, which was unpredictable by Zhu Yuanzhang, the Taizu of the Ming Dynasty, but Liu Zhenglong, the son of the Han Dynasty, was a human being, how could he not consider this?
The vassal kings of the Han Dynasty are actually just an identity, their wealth is fixed, and there is no unlimited reward, if you want to live a good life, you still need your own efforts. Of course, vassal kings can also participate in the imperial examination, and they can also do business, be an official, serve in the army, and even serve as an official in the imperial court. The vassal kings of the Han Dynasty are almost the same as ordinary people, the only difference is their identity, and they have a fixed vassal king.
The princes of the Han Dynasty ascended the throne into three levels, the first level, the mother is the queen, the imperial concubine, the concubine, the prince is the prince, like the king of Qin, the king of Zhao, the king of Qi, the king of Yan, the king of Han, the king of Jin, the king of Zhou, the king of Chu and other ten kings. At the second level, the mother is a foreign princess, queen, etc., and the prince will be the king of the region where the mother family is located, such as Western Xia, Tibet, Dali, Goryeo, Grassland, and Jin. The third level is the prince except for the above two levels.
The most embarrassing thing here is Fang Baihua, the prince born to Chai Jinjiao, but this is the arrangement of fate, and it is also destined to lay the bane of instability for the battle for succession.
Liu Zhenglong, the eldest son of the Han Dynasty in the palace, soaked in the hot springs, and his preoccupied appearance made people feel distressed, and the new concubine Xiao Yunyan didn't know what the Son of Heaven was thinking, and she didn't dare to ask, for fear of angering the other party.
Among the concubines who have newly entered the palace, there is no doubt that they are charming, stunning and charming, the country is beautiful and fragrant, and Xiao Yunyan, who is smart in ice and snow, is more valued by His Majesty, and the fly in the ointment is that the belly is not angry, and she has not opened branches and leaves for Your Majesty. She herself may not know that this is one of the reasons why she is favored.
Officially, because Xiao Yunyan was unable to spread the branches, the dispute between Xiao Gan and Yelu Ma Wu led to the current result, His Majesty finally chose Xiao Gan and let Xiao Gan sweep the grassland, and Ye Lu Ma Wu was transferred.
Xiao Gan understood what was going on, so he especially cherished this hard-won opportunity and devoted all his thoughts to exterminating the grassland coalition army, and Yelu Mawu also understood, which is why he offered to go to the northeast and go to Huanglong Mansion to help.
This power game is a man's business, and it is normal for Xiao Yunyan not to know it, and Liu Zhenglong, the son of the Han Dynasty, has no intention of bringing these things to the harem, so he can only suppress this matter temporarily. When the time is right, I will talk about it to Xiao Yunyan.
"Your Majesty, go to bed, you haven't had a good rest for several nights, and you will go to Huining Mansion in a few days, it will be a battle to destroy the country, and it will consume too much of your energy, so you don't dare to stay up too late to consume."
Xiao Yunyan, who has always been smart in ice and snow, was really a little slow to react at this moment, and she didn't know what His Majesty was thinking at all. She looked at Liu Zhenglong affectionately and said, "Your Majesty's Spring Festival is worth a thousand gold, Your Majesty should rest early." ”
"It's too much energy, so you can consume my energy."
Liu Zhenglong, the Son of Heaven, picked up Xiao Yunyan and strode towards the bedroom, saying as he walked: "If each of them were like you, I wouldn't have to have a headache." ”
At this moment, Xiao Yunyan can be regarded as understanding what His Majesty is worried about, it seems that the wind in the harem is not right, those ladies are making the last effort for their children, it can be said that the eight immortals have crossed the sea, each showing their magical powers, and one by one they are hollowing out their minds to help their sons compete for the throne.
There is only one throne, and it has long been announced to the world, the crown prince is in charge of the country, but why are those people still not dead at this time? To be honest, the palms and backs of the hands are all meat, all of them are their own women, they are all their own princes, all of them are very good, if you have to choose one who is not excellent, then there is no doubt that among these people, the most mediocre qualification is the prince, this prince's ability is indeed not outstanding, it can only be said that it is the capital of the middle, which makes other princes have the heart to covet the throne.
Liu Zhenglong, the son of heaven, also knows that the crown prince is not the best candidate, but being the emperor does not necessarily have extraordinary wisdom, and he will definitely be a good emperor. He knew this, but it was a pity that those imperial concubines and princes were blinded by the throne and would not look at the deepest things at all.
"Your Majesty, are you troubled by the question of the throne?" Xiao Yunyan finally said her inner thoughts, she said: "Nine Dragons will seize the heir, and Xiao Wall will be troubled, this is probably not a good thing." ”
"Aifei, do you have any good ideas, you can say them and let me hear them."
The current son of heaven Liu Zhenglong is a fan of the authorities, and he can't figure out his thoughts, otherwise he wouldn't have avoided the beauties of the harem far away, which is completely an ostrich mentality.
"The concubines dare not say that the Han Dynasty has an iron law, and the harem is not allowed to interfere in politics."
"I forgive you for your innocence, besides, this is not a matter for the court, it is my private matter. I have too many children, and they can be said to have worked hard to inherit my property, and if they continue like this, they will eventually lose themselves, and maybe they will make a big mistake, and once the tragedy that caused Xiao Wall happens, it is destined to be a bloody lesson. ”
Liu Zhenglong, the son of the Han Dynasty, is a man who is strong on the outside, but very soft-hearted on the inside, for him, he is his wife and his own children, and many things are really unbearable.
"Your Majesty, why don't you think differently?" Xiao Yunyan plucked up the courage and said: "Your Majesty, you can bring the princes to the battlefield of Huining Mansion, so that the princes can understand that it is not easy to fight the world, so that they can also see their governing philosophy, although they cannot win the Ninth Five-Year Plan, but after all, they have to be in charge of one side, according to their performance." to estimate their abilities, and also let them understand that they are destined to be impossible to be emperors in this life. If they don't know the situation, then they probably won't even be able to hold on to the part that belongs to them now. ”
These words are no longer what harem women should say, but Xiao Yunyan knows that what she says now, in fact, the voice of the Son of Heaven is just said through her own mouth. Anyway, I don't have children, and I won't encounter such a thing, and it won't have a bad impact on Your Majesty.
Xiao Yunyan pondered for a while and said: "Actually, these princes don't necessarily want to take the heir, it's just for their mother, for their mother, for their mother, and for those civil and military officials who vainly try to climb the dragon and the phoenix, that they have to rush forward." If the cut is carried out and the prince's contacts with them are cut off, in this case they will gradually cool down, once they recognize the situation, they will either be content with the status quo and accept the fate of the vassal king, or they will be cleared out of the game, and they can only become a concubine, once they become a concubine, then it is impossible to change their fate. ”
This is indeed a bold assumption, the position of the prince is no longer stable because of the lineage of birth, and if he does not accept the emperor's arrangement, all this will be erased. This means that the fate of the prince will be in their hands, and if you don't want to fall into the abyss of no return, don't blindly participate in the succession. Accept the arrangement of the Son of Heaven, thunder, rain and dew are all Jun'en, if they can't accept it, they are doomed to be out.
This point is undoubtedly the bottom of the kettle for the princes, whether they will participate in the succession, if everyone will calm down, they will understand that instead of chasing the ethereal throne, it is better to be a peaceful prince.
"If only you could give birth to a prince, but unfortunately, none of this has anything to do with you now." The Son of Heaven really felt that Xiao Yunyan could indeed help him, she was simply a female Zhuge . It's a pity that she didn't spread out, and her reputation is destined to be no different.
"The concubine thinks it's good that she can always be favored by His Majesty, and the concubine prefers to enjoy His Majesty's favor." Xiao Yunyan knew that His Majesty liked to be wild, so she turned over and said, "The concubine prefers to play games with Your Majesty, and the joy of fish and water here is wonderful." ”
The next day, the Son of Heaven decreed that all princes over the age of fifteen must go out with the army this time, and it is still the same as usual, and the prince is in charge of the country. This time, unlike in the past, the Son of Heaven secretly summoned the prince, and the father and son had to communicate about many things.
During this time, there were too many gossips outside, the prince was under too much pressure, he had too many words to confide in his father, this time it may be the last time the father and son have a conversation, and the next father and son will no longer be a dialogue between the monarch and the minister, at that time, it may be too much estrangement.
This time there was no drinking, just drinking tea, there was no one else in the room, only Xiao Yunyan, who was in charge of the tea art, as well as the Son of Heaven and the Prince, this time the conversation was destined to not be open to the public.
The Son of Heaven was the first to speak: "Emperor, you have lost weight, it seems that this time has been very hard. ”
"Father." Before he could speak, the prince burst into tears, he was really wronged during this time, he was simply wronged to the extreme, those elder brothers, younger brothers were constantly restrained, and many civil and military officials in the court violated the yang and yin, which was a very embarrassing thing, and it was very uncomfortable, and this kind of discomfort could not be talked about to anyone.
"It's because I'm too lustful and too careful, which caused this evil result." Liu Zhenglong, the son of heaven, does blame himself a little, but this will not change, after all, the disease of widowhood is a common disease of almost every man, and he doesn't think it's a mistake.
"Father, there are many brothers and sisters, and it is not necessarily a bad thing, but if everyone covets the throne, the problem will arise." The crown prince finally said the pain in his heart, he said helplessly: "They are all the brothers of the emperor, they make mistakes, I can't punish them, they are restrained at every turn, so that many things are very uncomfortable to do, the court has long been divided into various factions, large and small, leaning against each other, restricting each other, so that it is difficult to implement the decree." ”
The Son of Heaven shook his head and said, "This time, I will solve all the problems for you at once. ”
As soon as he heard that his father helped solve the problem, the prince suddenly came to his senses, and he had been waiting for this sentence, these things must be solved by his father.
The Son of Heaven said: "I will take all your brothers away, when they no longer have the heart to covet the throne, when will they return to the fiefdom, if they have been obsessed, then they will always follow me to the west, and never come back." ”
"Father, you want to go west, so how long will you go west?"
"Maybe a year or two, maybe maybe they won't come back for life, those brothers of yours, it's the same, they have a clear head, when will they come back. I have conquered the largest territory for you in the history of the world, of course, these territories are not yours, they belong to your brothers, they are all your vassal kings, they have to pay tribute, you have to treat them well. The world is too big for you to take care of, so it's better to leave it to them to manage, understand? ”
The crown prince didn't expect His Majesty's pattern to be so big, but he didn't know how big the outside world was and how big it could be, the only thing he knew was that as long as his brothers were far away from the court, he didn't care about other things.
After pondering for a long time, the prince said, "Erchen understands. ”
"Now that you understand, you must have a tolerant heart, don't deal with those courtiers at every turn, they are indeed climbing the dragon and the phoenix, attached to your brothers, but they are first and foremost your courtiers, you understand this, you know what to do. Of course, for the stubborn, even uproot, as long as it doesn't expand, after all, as the Son of Heaven, you still need civil and military officials to do things for you, if you kill them, you will become a loner, understand? ”
Although he said this, Liu Zhenglong, the son of heaven, knew that the crown prince would definitely expand, but it was no longer something he could manage, after all, he was going to hand over the throne, and at this time, it would not be good to interfere in the government again.
The responsible conversation was pleasant in the end, but the prince left happily, and the heart of the Son of Heaven was still a little heavy.
"Your Majesty, you seem to be a little unpleasant."
"It's nothing, that is, I'm worried that the prince will expand.".
"It will expand, and to what extent?"
"I don't know." Liu Zhenglong, the son of heaven, really doesn't know, after all, the prince has grown up, his wings are stiff, and he is no longer within his control.
